If you get hassled, the cops in your area must be bad. Sure it's not 100% kosher, but as long as you don't drag attention your way, I would have thought that common sense would prevail. Then again, we are talking about Johland here....

I'd arc up about $54.90 for 2 small stamped bits of metal too. They are only good for the car, not for the life of the bike or bike rack.

If you get hassled, I say a jolly good job to the coppers in your area. That's dedication for you. Not their fault someone decides to flout the law.

I'd agree with Bnej, $60 for something that's likely going to last the lifetime of your car is a worthwhile investment.

Hmmm, I guess that is what is called progress in society. Displaying a not quite the standard number plate is a REALLY SERIOUS offence, especially when compared to murder, theft, dangerous driving etc.

Since some people think that $55 is quite modest, maybe they can "donate" the plates to Tuco as a supporter of his racing program.....

The penalties for those other offences are higher, but the law is the law, and should be enforced. If you don't like the law, write your local member and campaign to have it changed, but it's no excuse to flout it.

If you are allowed to manufacture your own plates, then I can make my own fake ones and speed with impunity.

I wouldn't blink at paying that to legally use a bike rack myself. Doesn't mean I have money to give away.

I didn't pay that much when I got mine, so I called PPQ and checked the price.

If you have personalised plates, the cost is only $20.45, but if you don't it costs $54.95.

The extra $34 is for PPQ to process and essentially get the authority to create a copy of a Qld Transport plate. I paid the $34 when I bought my personalised plates, so I don't need to pay it again. It's almost like PPQ need to personalise your standard rego before they can make a plate.

Hope this makes sense.

I wondered why it was so much and they have the cheek to say on their on hold music they've raised $11,000,000 for road safety.
Maybe they should have the number plate "TERDS"
